Yesterday I drained the oil out. Smelled fine and looked clean. Whatever, I added in a bit of lucas for the hell of it and ran the regular mineral 20w-50. I intentionally let it idle for a good 10 minutes in the 90 degree heat as an experiment. Got on, rode great, had no issues with finding neutral or strange engagement. Also, no overheating that I could see. I will stick with what works and keep this combination going.

You think it was a fair comparison to pit old, used, damaged oil to brand new oil, never knowing what temperatures the two experienced?

I agree, but it wasn't old or dirty. It had about 300 miles on it and I experienced these problems immediately after changing the oil.

Just remember a glass of plain water looks just like a glass full of hydrochloric acid.  These behave differently when chugged down.

The eyeballs make a poor chemical analysis tool.  Are you sure it wasn't some particular incantation said while changing the oil that made the difference?  Did you use "lucky gloves"?
